So, when is this months COTM being decided?
(Not that I mind, I'm happy for my cab to stay at the top of the page for as long as possible )

[beardymat]

just thought id add a few more of mine in more natural surroundings although i suspect the winner may already have been chosen by now.













a cheeky studio shot for the last one because i like it
itll certainly be what a lot of people will see when the 2.8 goes in

[gazm3]

Not more photo's of that sheffield sport with dodgy indicators (thats side and front)

[beardymat]

i put em up just for you gaz

[robbo86]

for me its the red one looking straight out the showroom

god i hate you guys sometimes..... always feel a little ashamed of my "beast" whenever i look over these, it doestn help that i can never find the time to wash it, or afford to get the paint sorted properly

[sedge]

dam it

[JGG1]

Well as mine is now finished I may as well put it forward!

[Ian_M]

That picture is 38 years old, get an upto date one.

[JGG1]

That picture is 38 years old, get an upto date one.

Never noticed that before!!

[gra325i]

still no decision..i guess Clarksun aint gettin out then eh

[aceraf]

[dimebag_from_hell]

why the hell is this taking so long?

[grantfk10]

I'm not complaining

[Mr_Clarksun]

Late again.

Summer, not me.

Me? I've been deliberating long and hard over the winner of this COTM. Pride was the effective theme of the challenge I set this time, and there's not a car entered which fails that criteria one little bit.

There has to be a winner though, no more endless prevarication from me. I've used my ration of that and then some. If I'd ignored everything else and concentrated purely of the owner's pride in the car, I'd have been here all month (again). So, I've extended it down:

Pride
Dedication
Aesthetics
Finish
Nostalgia
Detail
Involvement
The Whole Package
My Fine Opinion

This month, ladies and germs, let's all smile for the cameras like a loser at the Oscars and congratulate beardymat for the labour of love that is his fully restored 325i Sport.

At least this way, when I set the category to “325i Sportâ€a, others will have a chance…..

[Cook318IS]

well done mate! its a real credit to you!

[shedrool83]

Good choice
Well done Beardymat

[Jhonno]

Worthy victor

[Jon_Bmw]

Beardys' onto a winner!

I have to say, this clarkson fella has impeccible taste.

[griff87]

Paint work on beardymats car is stunning, deserved winner!

[gra325i]

congrats BM

[hubble]

Congratulations Mat. Great work fella

Looks like your the New Sheriff in town!

[madaboutthe30]

I give it to you beardymat, she definetley is a stunner

[DRIFTBOY]

Me too, stunning looking car, well deserved!

Although there were also some very worthy cars back there, must have been a very tough decision!

[daimlerman]

Nice one Matt!! I have viewed this sport in the flesh,the photos do not do Matt's work justice. As a rolling advert for his metalworking skills the hero must have enthusiasts flocking to his workshop to have similar magic worked on their cars.

[beardymat]

cheers chaps, that put a smile on my face and finished my holiday off nicely, coming back to england today and im looking forward to getting behind the wheel of the sport again. wish id brought it with me as theres some great mountain roads where i am but i had to make do with a brand new Audi A4 instead

Congratulations Mat. Great work fella

Looks like your the New Sheriff in town!

i wouldnt go that far Gino, maybe mr clarksun has a fetish for my chav indicators

[dimebag_from_hell]

Cracker sport, well deserved mate!
